Royal Umbrella Jasmine Rice is a brand of fragrant rice that originates from Thailand. While it is not specifically a Filipino rice variety, it can certainly be enjoyed in Filipino cuisine.
Jasmine rice is known for its delicate floral aroma and slightly sticky texture when cooked. It has a soft and tender texture with a subtle, nutty flavor. In Filipino cuisine, Royal Umbrella Jasmine Rice can be used as a staple ingredient in various dishes.
Filipinos often pair Jasmine Rice with flavorful viands, such as adobo (a savory meat dish), sinigang (a sour soup), or Kare-Kare (a peanut-based stew). The fragrant nature of Jasmine Rice complements the rich flavors of these dishes, providing a balanced and enjoyable eating experience.
Additionally, Jasmine Rice can also be used as a base for fried rice, known as "sinangag" in Filipino cuisine. This dish involves stir-frying cooked rice with garlic, onions, and other ingredients like vegetables, meats, or seafood.
